The head of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has warned that it will step up its enforcement of swaps reporting breaches in a bid to improve the quality of data being reported to repositories.

Speaking at the FIA Futures and Options Expo in Chicago on November 4, CFTC chair Timothy Massad said the agency will "not hesitate to carry out enforcement actions" on those that "do not make timely, complete and accurate reporting".
